Hi, I set a Kafka broker with some topics and where each topic is divided into 10 partitions. As I understood on Kafka doc, if I send a keyed message to kafka the key is used to distribute the message in a particular partition (using an hash value of the key): in this way messages with same key go in the same partition.
I’m trying to run the broker sending messages with the same key and I noted that executing the following command: bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic LCacc --time -1 I obtained the output: Honestly I expected to see just a partition full (due to the only one key used). Instead it seems kafka distributed message in a quite uniform way. Is this normal? I tried also to send messages with different keys (for example sending much more messages with a key respect to another) but nothing changed. LCacc:8:60699 LCacc:2:60737 LCacc:5:60716 LCacc:4:60722 LCacc:7:60701 LCacc:1:60744 LCacc:9:60695 LCacc:3:60731 LCacc:6:60710 LCacc:0:61967
